3. Denise Katrina Matthews (b. January 4, 1959 - d. February 15, 2016), better known as Vanity but sometimes credited as Denise Matthews-Smith or D.D. Winters, was a Canadian-born singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, model, and full-time preacher. She was the lead singer for the Prince-mentored female trio Vanity 6, which recorded the 1982 R&B hit "Nasty Girl."
Matthews formally gave up her stage name "Vanity" and became a born-again Christian in 1994, the year she almost died from the effects of snorting cocaine. According to Matthews, after being rushed to the hospital, doctors said she had three days left to live and she was on life support. She told everyone in interviews that Jesus spoke to her during this time and saved her if she promised to give up her "Vanity" persona. In 1995, Matthews was quoted "When I came to the Lord Jesus Christ, I threw out about 1,000 tapes of mine—every interview, every tape, every video. Everything."
Sadly, she died on February 15, 2016, from sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, a rare complication of a peritoneal dialysis, a treatment for patients with severe chronic kidney disease, which Denise suffered due to her previous drug use.

4. Founded in October 2010 and reformed in 2012 after line up changes, South Londoners VANITY (formerly known as ‘Vanity Draws Blood’) have been etching a name for themselves within the UK and European Metal Fraternity. Expressing an amalgamation of brutal breakdowns, haunting soundscapes, and fiercely low-tuned instrumentation, the six-piece, fronted by two vocalists, strive and achieve to create something potently unique. With an unbridled reputation for delivering brooding and submerging atmospheric metal, the Brit metalcorers received notable acclaim for 2014’s debut EP, I Witness, which firmly cemented the band’s impending trajectory. After a period of reflection, the diligent metal crew decided to focus on creating a series of works under the title, Perspective; the first of which was released in 2016 and entitled, Perspective // Dread. The highly regarded EP also contained the single, Anxiety, featuring CJ McMahon of Thy Art Is Murder. The atmospheric metal six-piece are back with the second release in their ‘Perspective’ series: ‘Perspective // Empathy’.
They have shared the stage with bands like Black Tongue, Chelsea Grin, Silent Screams, Dream on Dreamer, Heights, Polar, Dead Harts, Heart of a Coward, Soulfly, Modern Day Babylon and The Algorithm.

Kerrie Alexander - Vocals

俺は他の事やればいい
そう
やれることなんてたくさんあるけど
別に今はやらなくていい なんてことを思っているうちに
身動き取れなくなってしまっていた
できないこと晒すのが 恥をかくのが怖いんだ
張り子の虎作り上げ俺は叫ぶ
よう虚栄心様
こんな無様な俺の姿を
笑ってやってくれよ
いつも言い訳をさがしているだけ
肥大した虚栄心抱え込んでる俺の姿を
誰かに見透かされるのが怖くてたまらない
くだらないよな
自分がどれ程 ちっぽけかなんて
当たり前だろう 分かってるのさ
「あぁ嫌になるな」
「それがお前だろ」
だなんて自問自答続けるうちに逃げ込んだ部屋で
居心地のいい優しい劣後感に抱かれてた
こんな俺の名前を誰か呼んでくれないか
ここまで来て他人任せ反吐が出るぜ
どんな鎧身に纏っても
隠しきれない自分の弱さすらも
愛してやれなんて言えやしないや
矛盾したままで歩き続けたその末つ方は
誰の声も届かない
それがお望みかい? 分かってるだろ?
名前を呼ぶ声が聞こえる
こんな無様な俺の手を握ってくれた
諦めたふりをしていた 興味がないふりをしていた
お前と一緒なら
よう虚栄心様
見えてるだろう俺の姿が
お前を味方にして
もう二度と言い訳口にしないぜ
聞こえるか虚栄心
がむしゃらに走る俺の叫びが
お前がいてくれるから
ここでならやれる
俺は歌うぜ
The song "Vanity" by the Japanese rock band, The Oral Cigarettes, is a song about the fear of vulnerability and exposure that stems from one's twisted sense of pride and vanity. The opening lyrics speak of the limited things one can do, and how one should just focus on doing other things instead. However, as the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer is afraid of showing his weaknesses, his fear of being judged, and his obsession with maintaining a façade of strength and invincibility. He talks about his inflated ego and how he constantly seeks justification for his actions, even though he knows that he is just deluding himself. He longs for someone to call his name and hold his hand, but he also fears being seen as weak by others. In the end, he realizes that he can only move forward if he faces his fears head-on and accepts himself, weaknesses and all.

It puts your mind off of the world and onto Christ.

@@ChapelonTheHill If tradition is true and Solomon wrote this book towards the very end of his life, I would think that it was cathartic for him. I'm almost certain that his past conduct with the Bathsheba was eating him to the bone and this book is really a narration of his penitence for putting vanity and earthly things before God
**Bathsheba, not Queen of Sheba
@as-above-so-below-
@@ChapelonTheHill I think what he was going for most here is that our fears and insecurities are where most of our poor conduct and sin are rooted in. To let go of them and live a meaningful life, rather than a life searching for meaning in vanity is to let go of a lot of strong emotions that make living righteously difficult

The way "Then the devil left Him" is added brings me so much joy everytime I reach the end of the video. It's like a confirmation that regardless of what's happening, as long as we keep our faith in Christ, the devil shall be ashamed and scared by us, leaving us. The confirmation that in the end, we will win in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. May God bless you all!

Thanks, I needed to remember this. I had a very tough year when it came to fighting against sin. Thank you, brother in Christ.
